He added that he 'couldn't turn down' the club icon's call to join him in taking part in the campaign, and reiterated the call for others to open up about their own mental health battles.
'When Wrighty made the call and told me what him and Gillette were up to and then asked me to be his Mo Mate I couldn't turn it down!' he said.
'I'm proud to be working with Gillette on this and supporting my good mate Ian who always has my back.'Hopefully it'll encourage others to get involved and grow their own mo or ask a mate to do so, as well as helping people open up about mental health more freely and raise awareness for such an important charity like Movember.'
The Movember campaign aims to get men talking about mental health as the rate of male suicides in the UK is alarmingly high; three in every four suicides are by men, and across the world on average one man commits suicide every minute.
The campaign aims to encourage friends to take part together in the hope that the taboo subject can be easier broached among trusted peers in a hope to increase early intervention.
